In a moment of annoyance over some minor thing, I kicked my vanity bench. With nothing on my feet but fuzzy slippers. And my vanity bench is metal.
Now, I have a big, throbbing blood blister on my middle toe-most of it under my toenail. Joy. It’s sore, and tender, and it hurts like a bitch.
:smack:
(Yes, I have a cold pack on it.)
Eek, as the vanity bench seems to have won the fight, I suppose it will become even more vain now. :eek:
Silly Guin!
Never mind, visiting my mother at the weekend, I fetched stuff from a kitchen wall cupboard then smashed the cupboard door into my face. (My “excuse” is that the kitchen has been recently redesigned and I’m not used to it, but well, it’s not a very good excuse, is it?)
Ouch!
I hope the ice is making you feel better Guin.
Take care.
So what did we learn?
My grandmother would ask me that whenever I did something stupid, which happened quite a lot.
I’ll see your blood blister and raise you a broken foot (when I kicked the wood frame of a couch, because I was frustrated at my bf at the time).
So if ya wanna win the stupid contet, you’re going to have to practice a bit more 
I tried popping the blister, but that sucker is either just a really bad bruise, or too damned dense, because it wouldn’t burst. A friend suggested I should wait a few days, and only try to pop it if the toenail falls off. :eek:
Damn, this thing is THROBBING. Stupid toe. Stupid bench. Stupid me.
I hope the bench learned a lesson.
Hmm. I have a friend who did that, and it turned into a fungal infection under the toenail. If that happens to you, have the toenail removed and grow it out right away–in a year it will be as good as new.
not what you wanted to hear perhaps, but a valuable piece of advice
